A lot of factors goes into making it good like originality, proficiency, dynamics , Techniques, Production Style (I mostly prefer slick production styles since thats what i started out with) etc. So What do you think are the best drummed extreme metal albums ever??
Eg. Death - Human
Kronos - Titans Awakening
The Red Chord - Fused Together In Revolving Doors
Hate Eternal - I,Monarch
Viraemia - Viraemia EP
Fleshgod Apocalypse - Mafia EP

Written by Spirit Molecule on 10.06.2012 at 22:12 I personally have a hard time seeing how some "stoner doom metal" bands are considered doom at all. I can see it in Sleep, but hardly on Shrinebuilder, let alone OM (they aren't even metal nowdays! xD). And now, we have to stay ontopic: The drummer fromm Dragged Into Sunlight is fantastic!

Lars Ulrich in St. Anger. Jokes aside.. Sad from S.V.E.S.T (especially that album Urfaust)

Well no one seems to have mentioned Mario Duplantier from Gojira. I think the dude is great. He's got speed, technicality and awesome groove. So is the guy from Revocation, not sure of the guys name. Patrice from Martyr(Canada) is awesome as well.

I rate Jason Bittner as a metal drummer. I really enjoy his playing - he's incredibly gifted.

I really enjoyed Darkside's varied approach in the new Mgla album "With Hearts Towards None". He does a lot of different things behind the kit from track to track.

Written by Apatheria on 13.06.2012 at 10:20 Yes. Good performance. But I think their "Mdlosci" tracks have better drumming.

Drumming in Fredrik Thordendal's Sol NIger Within is pretty amazing. That guy Morgan is nuts. I too often love to watch how everything goes to fuck level after 2:14 on this medley video of the album.

Death - Individual Thought Patterns -> Hoglan is nearly incomparable Dimmu Borgir Spiritual Black Dimensions -> I like Tjodalv's drumming. A good balance between aggressive and technique. Besides having a very attractive style, in my opinion Nicholas Howard Barker in general

I've no idea why most of you only mention drummers who have mostly speed to show for their skill. The real skill is shown (in my opinion) in how creative, not fast, a drummer is. All that said, a very fast drummer that is Hellhammer shines the brightest when he shows his creativity. Like in this song, starting at 1:40 And, of course, the best drummer in metal, Dave Lombardo in his most amazing performance

Written by Troy Killjoy on 21.12.2011 at 00:49 Written by RavenKing on 21.12.2011 at 00:56 Absolutely an amazing drummer. He is so fast and incredible, but also incredibly artistic. Absu's riffs are good and fun, but they don't have a lot to them. Proscriptor's drumming takes them above and beyond their potential. With any other drummer this band is predictable, fun, but not worth more than a couple spins. Proscriptor has more than a unique style, he works his drums into the music, molds it in and takes you on a journey. I'd say my favorite performance of his is still Tara.

Cryptopsy - None So Vile: Flo Mounier sounds like he's drumming INSIDE your head. Deathspell Omega - Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice: An octopus.

I'm a big fan of Gene Hoglan's work in Fear Factory and Dark Fucking Angel. Definitely not as extreme as some of the drummers here (the fastest I've ever listened to is Flo Mounier) but at least he has a good feel. Also, who the hell does the drums in Anaal Nathrakh? that shit is impressive.

Written by Valentin B on 21.09.2012 at 12:40 A drum machine is my bet. I'll probably earn the hate of quite a few people here, but what the hell. I think Morbid Angel's Pete Sandoval is the most overrated extreme drummer around. He has speed, but that's basically all he has.

Written by Daniell on 21.09.2012 at 13:35 No reason to hate tbh. A good drum machine still counts as an impressive performance imo. Also, if my memory isn't too shabby... I believe they do have a human drummer for the concerts but I could be wrong.

I still think the best drummers of all are the Progressive Metal/Rock drummers, they aren't the fastest but their technicality, precision and creativity is unmatched and how one can keep perfect time whilst changing time signatures as much as they do just amazes me. Anyhow this is an "extreme metal drummer" thread so I'll shut up now.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 22.09.2012 at 02:26 The hate part was referring to Pete Sandoval not the drum machine  And live they do have a human drummer btw.As for Pete Sandoval anyone thinkng he is only about speed is clearly deaf. Pete drums extremely varied (and at times fast as well) with intricate fills and all. Compare him to Tim Yeung and you'll see Tim is most mostly about speed and not Pete

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 22.09.2012 at 11:46 Yes, the hate part was about Pete Sandoval. And yes, I must be deaf, because Sandoval has never impressed me. But sure, if you compare him to such a bland drummer as Tim Yeung, he will come out on top.
